Maths

Mathematics is important in everyday life and, with this in mind, the purpose of Mathematics at Childwall Valley Primary School is to develop an ability to solve problems, to reason, to think logically and to work systematically and accurately.

We use the nationally recognised White Rose maths scheme as a vehicle for our maths output and this provides uniformity whilst challenging and encouraging the children to excel in Mathematics.

New mathematical concepts are introduced using a ‘Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract’ approach; enabling all children to experience hands-on learning when discovering new mathematical topics, and this allows them to have clear models and images to aid their learning.

Arithmetic and basic maths skills are practised daily inside and outside of formal Mathematical lessons, to ensure that concepts are embedded and children can recall this information to see curriculum links between topics in Maths.
